    ok the question i pose to you is that do u want a desktop external hard drive or do u want a laptop external hard drive and how many gigs do u need to back up??

    The hard drive brand i would go with is either seagate or maxtor and Western Digital. In that order.

    Do you care at all about the transfer rates and all of that? If storage is the only issue, it shouldn't be too hard to find a cheap drive.
